WARNING: I have been trying to get Total to release my sons cell number to transfer to another carrier since mid-December 2021. We finally gave up and activated his phone with another carrier and got a new number. Several emails, phone calls, and chat sessions have gotten me nowhere, no real person ever returns the call and messages to cancel the service are not fulfilled. I have resorted to deciding to just report the charges as fraud on my credit card and documented the contact attempts. If you want to keep your number, I'd stay away from them. The service was marginally okay for a teenager for the price but personally I would have been very upset to have to change my number. The service is still active and not cancelled.

I do see many people asking about unlocking policy.

Well as per the new policy after take over from Verizon in November,Tracphone has updated its unlocking policy for apple devices to be 60 days post activation if activated after Nov 23rd-2021

That said,I have reached to multiple customer care rep and have even called and the fact that it gets unlocked after 60 days is something they all echoed but there was difference on if it active service or just first month of activation.There is no proven way until Jan 23rd to see when this first set of deals got launched to see how it goes.

The unlocking policy does mention it will automatically unlock after 60 days - But if some one or most of the folks trading in should not have a problem .If you plan to keep this phone for a longer run and use it I would activate the service for the second month to avoid any hassle in pushing Customer rep to unlock .As i did call out we will have to wait to see how it actually works.Its an additional $20-$22 to get some total wireless prepadi cards on sale or deals.

In the worst case if this not does not get honored we can still encash for trade in or other options to sell this for cash.

Any one with still having doubts on the unlock policy can contact customer care for their satisfaction before they jump in - however as i mentioned its more of waiting game as I did realize it was not consistent reply.

For $122, if your XR looks new, works fine. Why ask for trouble by going to apple stores? Just use it or trade in. They did an awesome job with repairs if at all they did them. This is the best $122 phone you can ever buy!!!

That's good. As long as your phone is working fine, just keep using. You don't want to know too much, it is not worth it. No one can spot the difference. I really regret I took my phone to Apple for repair, I would rather just using it and live in dilution that everything is good without knowing the truth. For an $130 phone, it is just unnecessary drama to me so far.
True I suppose there could be these one of cases , but sorry for you but overall as you said this isc after all a $120 deal . Use the phone .. trade in … etc multiple op tons to move on that do break head .. we buy so many other phones on eBay who knows - TW is at least a known market we all use those eBay phones s.. sell and v trade.. TW did mention these are reconditioned.. phones are like new . No regrets as long as it is working

No $25 air card either. Only phone and charging cable. Wonder what is the best way to deal with TW.

Quote from Thatoneguythere :
Got two XRs in, neither of them had the $25 card in the box. Is TW no longer providing the $25 card? I was hoping to sell it to recoup some of the cost.

Activate the phone. Use the red insert, the sim is in the $25 which has $25 pre loaded. You just have to activate it. In the past they gave $25 scratch off cards. People were not activating the lines and they got smarter with it and loaded it in the sim

It's linked to the sim. They don't do the card anymore.

Got the XR yesterday. Phone looks new. I didn't find any scratch. Checked IMEI and it said that 'repair and Service Expires' on 10/05/2022. Seems its fairly new. Battery shows 100%, Face id also worked. I do see true tone is enabled (I don't know what else to check in true tone).
I upgraded to 15.2, Face id is still working. Even though everything looks, I don't think battery is original as I see sticker on iPhone back to charge the battery for 5 hours before usage.

I don't care if battery is replaced or not, as long as its working and looks new I am happy and giving this to my son. At least, he can say that he has iPhone too to his friends. I am still using Motorola G pure Wave . Thinking if I should go for XR or new iPhone 11.

Thanks for posting this deal.

I think people see imperfections like dead lcd spot. Or simply want a full OEM exchange and try their luck.

I went to BestBuy to trade in for $190 gift card but it was declined. He said that it is iPhone XR but the model number doesn't match.
I guess refurbished phone has different model number.
If I try Trade In for gift card on Apple store, do they also checking model number and possibly decline?

Why did you take your phone to Apple store? To check if it has genuine part? I m planning take my phone to Apple store for trade in. I wonder if it comes with replaced parts then will they reset the part setting just like yours and deny the trade in.

TW phone: MH5G3LL/A
BestBuy accept this model only: MRYR2LL/A

If I create online trade-in request from bestbuy web site, it specifically says "Model: MRYR2LL/A" for $190 trade-in value.

I'm wondering how many people actually able to trade-in for gift cards? Maybe Bestbuy now aware that a lot of XR trade-ins these days and put more strict rules?
